As jury selection began Tuesday in the trial of Wild West World founder Thomas Etheredge, the defense filed a motion to limit information on Etheredge's previous fraud conviction. The motion requested that Sedgwick County District Judge Ben Burgess instruct the jury that Etheredge was no longer obligated to repay investors $787,000 in the Bethany Trust case.
